Located at MCMC in the heart of Middlebury, Camp Adagio is a week long day program that ventures into the art of ensemble playing. Campers are matched to form small groups that play together all week. Music selections are made prior to the start of camp so that campers can practice their pieces ahead of time. During the week of camp, we dive into putting all the pieces together for our final performance on Friday!  All instrumentalists are welcome and at least one prior year of lessons preferred.
Daily Schedule:
  • 2 daily coached chamber music sessions
  • 2 ½-hour private music lessons during the week
  • Daily choral and yoga instruction
  • Field trips including visits to the to the Middlebury College Art Museum and Music Library
  • Soccer, croquet, and popsicle breaks!
  • The camper staff ratio at Camp Adagio is 4:1
